I saw Titanic 3D last night and it's still my favorite movie of all time, even after all these years.

[jamesinclair]

Casa de mi padre has been playing here for a few Weeks, did it not get a wide release?

[JdFoX187]

Saw Lockout today and there were only two other people in the theater. Poor Guy Pearce, bastard can't get a successful leading movie if his life depended on it. It should still make decent money with the low budget though, at least if international markets come through.

Surprised at The Hunger Games' hold. Movie keeps trucking right along.

[GhaleonEB]

did the 3D conversion for Titanic really cost 18 million dollar?

"300 computer artists working for over a year..."

[Decado]

Awful per theatre average for The Raid :(

I guess it had no real push behind it besides some online stuff. Surprised WoM didn't help more, though.

Three Stooges was good--saw it with a great audience, mostly families with small children and it brought down the house. Sure it's dumb and pointless, but I think that was the whole point of the Three Stooges in the first place...

Good to hear. Parents want to go see it and I figure I'd tag along. Looks like silly fun which is all i can ask for in this kind of me.

[Kusagari]

It seems like there's a very good chance now that Hunger Games will gross more than any HP movie in the U.S.

[Incendiary]

I was hoping Cabin in the Woods would at least beat the Stooges. Oh well. Hopefully it didn't cost that much and has some legs/good word of mouth. It's an awesome movie.

[JdFoX187]

HP7.5 was the biggest at $381 million. I could easily see Hunger Games topping that. Don't think it'll hit $400 million unless it limps there.

[Hasardeur]

damn, Lockout is only at 33%? Not that unexpected, I guess, but the trailer made it seem like a fun movie.

It's not "Taken in space" like some were predicting. It's still a fun movie and Guy Pearce is great. But it hits every cliche note down to the one-liners and lone-wolf hero. Storyline is all over the place and the special effects in one prolific scene literally look like PSOne era FMVs. Other than that, it's extremely enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of Guy Pearce.

You need to watch more quality cinema.

If it gets close, I'm sure Lionsgate will fudge the numbers all they can to get the milestone.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

That wont happen.

[Angry Puppy]

Damn, stooges beat Cabin...

[Criminal Upper]

92% for Cabin in The Woods? Where's the "Joss Whedon Sucks Force" I wonder?

[Kusagari]

That wont happen.

I think they'll attempt it if HG gets to $395mill, but I don't know if it will.

[Scullibundo]

I told you not to doubt the legs of Titanic. Where's Cheebs?

[Clayton Bigsby]

In the Avengers thread.

[Loofy]

People will rather watch something good again than throw their money at THG, makes sense.

Really youre attacking THG but defending Titanic?
Theyre both fluff.

[DMczaf]

I told you not to doubt the legs of Titanic. Where's Cheebs?

But you also told us to doubt The Hunger Games's legs.

[Scullibundo]

Titanic's international gross this weekend was $88M. If you add the domestic estimate it earned ~$100M worldwide for the weekend. Titanic 3D set the opening weekend record in China with $58M, and had good drops elsewhere. Life to date gross is past $2 billion. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...winslet-312267 So it looks like Titanic 3D has a shot at $300M Worldwide. Scully should have bet on the worldwide gross of Titanic overtaking the worldwide gross of The Hunger Games in April instead of the domestic gross.

That is what I bet on. Went through this last week with Cheebs. Still waiting for the magic link to comments specifically talking about domestic that I never made lulz.

[Kusagari]

You shouldn't have doubted the legs of Hunger Games. Hobbit won't get near 400m in the U.S. ;).

[Cheebo]

You never stated worldwide. Seeing how this is a thread about domestic weekend boxoffice gross it is fair to assume unless said otherwise it's about domestic intake. Where hunger games is killing it. Will be #2 of the year behind only batman.

[DevelopmentArrested]

Nice take for Cabin in the Woods.

Go and watch THE RAID you assholes! Best movie of the year so far.

[Scullibundo]

I've said it a thousand times that I'm only ever talking about domestic when I say domestic. We don't all live in the US. The domestic claims you're thinking I made relate to my bet with Kusaragi where I said The Hobbit would outgross THG domestically. Which I still think it has a good chance of doing, though I am slightly sweating!

The important thing here is that there are now two films in the $2b club. This fucking guy!

Well you may not live in America but the thread is about domestic weekend boxoffice in take. If you didn't say worldwide it is safe to assume its domestic since that is what the majority of discussion in this thread is, in particular the OP itself. You can try weasling out it with a flimsy technicality but Hunger Games showed you up this round. ;)

[TheKaeptain]

Cheebs, that the samething I had to explain when Tintin was hitting the US.

[Scullibundo]

Cheebs, that the samething I had to explain when Tintin was hitting the US.

Oh yeah. Yamato here said Tintin was going to bomb. So when it became a huge hit overseas, I said he didn't specify domestic - since AGAIN, that is what I'm used to. It isn't coincidence that I made it clear to Kusaragi I was talking about domestic with our bet. There is no weaseling going on here and I don't appreciate that insinuation.

[kswiston]

To be fair, Titanic was saved by China. I don't think anyone was expecting a re-release to take the opening weekend record from Transformers 3 in that territory. Legs are good worldwide after the first weekend, but without China we would be talking about a $150M+ worldwide gross. Not $300M+

[Cheebo]

He needs a overseas boxoffice thread if he thinks if you don't specify it should be assumed worldwide when nobody else posts that way, for everyone else it is domestic discussion and if overseas is brought up it is always specified since its not the primary discussion.

If you go in a NPD thread on gaming side you assume you are discussing American sales unless said otherwide since that is what the topic is. Same here since the topic is for the weekend domestic boxoffice numbers.

You are one of my favorite posters but you DID weasel out sculli. I went and checked and you never clarified you were talking worldwide. Everyone else assumes domestic unless otherwise specified, it's how these threads always operate.

It's silly, who cares. You didn't see how huge Hunger Games was going to be.

[RoboPlato]

I hope that Cabin in the Woods has a good hold. I can see word of mouth being very kind to it.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Well, CITW has a Cinemascore of C+, while RT is at 93 %....... Go figure............

[Kusagari]

It's sad, but regular moviegoers usually hate horror movies like CITW. I expect it to have horrible legs.

I guess poor Katniss Everdeen...

Bingo.

As much as I love Titanic, I'm glad the rerelease didnt too well in NA. +1 respect for NA audiences.

[Solo]

Cameron with 2 movies passing $2B. Holy fuck.

[Lion Heart]

Jennifer Lawrence in 15 years

Jennifer Lawrence in 15 years

Oh lord. :lol

Jennifer Lawrence in 15 years

I don't think I can look at her the same way again.

[RBH]

You fuckers need to watch The Raid: Redemption if you haven't already.

That movie deserves to be doing alot better.

[JdFoX187]

You fuckers need to watch The Raid: Redemption if you have the opportunity. That movie deserves to be doing alot better.

Tell them to bring it to butt fucking nowhere Oklahoma and I'll be there opening night. Not driving all the way to Dallas for it :(

[CrunchinJelly]

Has anyone actually seen American Reunion? Is it as bad as the trailer? Just looks like a retread of the first film.

Such an odd time to release another AP movie.

[black_13]

ugh seriously? The Hunger Games was good but really not that good.

Cabin and Lockout got shafted hard. Fuck everyone!

[jett]

sad results for The Raid

[Eggman]

Don't talk shit about Jennifer Lawrence, I'll fucking stab you.

[Alrus]

As much as I love Titanic, I'm glad the rerelease didnt too well in NA. +1 respect for NA audiences.

Didn't do too well? It's going to be the second highest grossing 3D re-release behind The Lion King...

[JGS]

ugh seriously? The Hunger Games was good but really not that good. Cabin and Lockout got shafted hard. Fuck everyone!

Different people are seeing it each thinking the same as you. It still makes money.

It is winding down though and international is not making much of a dent. I'm assuming it has little marketing anywhere but the States and somebody else is distributing so Lionsgate doesn't care.

There was pretty decent marketing before the movie came out in europe but the book wasn't really well known (most people I talked to never heard of it before they saw the movie). I noticed a lot of people picking up the books now though, so as I said earlier, I expect the second movie to do much better overseas. Kind of like Twilight...

That's kind of what happened in the States. The book & the movie were feeding off each other. As people finish reading the book, they go to the movie and vice versa.
